Official Avengers Infinity War Poster Ever since a certain genius billionaire playboy philanthropist built a suit of armor with nothing but a box of scraps, nothing’s been the same. In 2008, ‘Iron Man’ premiered and with it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had just exploded into existence. A few films later and we already have an established team of super heroes, in the form of the colossal hit that was 2012’s ‘The Avengers’. Soon, the cosmic branch of this juggernaut of a shared universe started to expand, making a talking raccoon and a walking tree some of the world’s most popular characters via 2014’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. Still of Wong, Cumberbatch, Ruffalo and Downey Jr. looking rather suspicious Flash forward to 2018. 10 years in the making, ‘Avengers Infinity War’ blasts its way into theatres and fans around the world are drooling over this unprecedented cinematic event. Let’s try to dissect and evaluate this otherworldly endeavor. Infinity War is a gargantua...

Official Black Panther Poster ‘Black Panther’ is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with it being the 18 th film in the span of 10 years. Following the events of 2016´s ‘Captain America Civil War’, where the title character was first introduced, we see T’Challa ( Chadwick Boseman reprising his role here) returning to Wakanda and embracing his duties as the new king of the secretive and technologically advanced nation. If you think Tony Stark and his suits of armor are as good as it gets in terms of tech savviness, make no mistake: Wakanda has more to it than textiles and shepherds (Pssst, it has to do with Vibranium *wink*). A sample of the incredible visuals 'Black Panther' has The movie is helmed by Ryan Coogler , who had previously directed the critically acclaimed Creed, for instance, and the film is a beast, in a good way. It is inspiring and irreverent, managing to create a subgenre within the existing plethora of superhero outin...

Official Thor Ragnarok Poster For years, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been craving for a Thor film that managed to merge those huge, epic and spectacle-worthy moments with the always necessary fun elements, while also embracing its deeply rooted origins, by going all out with the cosmic stuff. Back in 2011, we were introduced to the God of Thunder and his Asgardian associates. There was a great deal of world building to be done here so, naturally, a good portion of the film was spent on Earth. Inexplicably, however, was the way the sequel was handled; in the midst of focusing too much on (sometimes annoying) human characters and wasting precious screen time on Earth yet again, 2013’s Thor: The Dark World didn’t really do much in service of its title character. Flash forward to 2017 and Ragnarok is upon us. Still of Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth, working side by side Fortunately, the film hit the jackpot! Directed by Taika Waititi , Ragnarok is infused ...

Official Spider-Man Homecoming Poster The title for this movie, “Homecoming”, captures the essence of this film, both in and off screen. Speaking in universe, Spidey is coming home after the events of “Captain America Civil War”; but, perhaps most importantly, the character is back at Marvel Studios’ creative control and Sony is paying the bill. What once was a far-fetched dream in the most hardcore fan’s mind is now a palpable reality. All of this thanks to the amazing deal orchestrated by Kevin Feige . Business structures aside, it is now time to focus on the film itself. What is Spidey up to in this tunnel? Directed by Jon Watts , a relatively new bet in Hollywood after having proven himself with “Cop Car”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” feels fresh. Much of this credit goes to the unique and diverse cast, who is comprised of very young faces. Tom Holland embodies Peter Parker and his alter ego in a way that we have never seen before. He is Spider-Man! As talked during t...
